ne of the most poptilar in the country, and

ablest statesmen, la rapidly losing ground.
In New York city, the nines, which was
formerly a protectionist organ, now leans the
other way; the Express has tio , ,eeted the tar

free trade, the Co nmercial Advertiser . has
ee t ovl,l to print protectionist articles ; Mr.
Bath, , 170:11ouq protectionist when maeolsing
edittr of the Tribune, has never a word to
I say on that side 'in the Sun ; the Courier and
Etalidter long since merged its existence in
that of a free trade organ. The Tribune is
left alone, as the sole surviving representa
tive in the New York press of the expirina:
eati: , e of protection, and it has not produced
a new argument on the subject for the last

-if live look over the rest of the eountry,we
shall! find Ow most of the old protectionist
oracles tit— <frittert with dumbness, while
nearly every Western journal, which has the
elements of: vigorous life, is scouting protec

public rut 0 are moving In the sarae direction
as the Western press. Some two years ago
the Tribune had occasion to take Senator

In.othor f ountries,the prospect is still more

At the organization of the Legislature, in
December cottoning this election, ensued
those trouble- - ; which have been given in de
rision the title Of the "Buckshiu War. ' Their
history may be briefly .given as follows:
When the return judges of Philadelphia
county met in Convention, a motion was
mltle to throw out the votes of the North. rn
Liberties, en account of alleged frauds.. By
accepting the votes, the Sntillasonic eandi
dater:foi*Corurres,, State Senate and Assem
bly' were l'eleeted ; their "rejection gave the
seats to the Democratic candidates ; The
Democrats had a majority of the judges; and
'the returns were not accepted. Tl;e-.-tnti,
Masonii• judges belted and , made.6nt other
returns, including the votes of the Northern
Liberties, which were sent t:.". Thos.. 11. Bar- .
roweA, -Anti Masonic Seer'etiry of State, at
Harrisbnrg:- When the Legislature assem
bled, each set of candidates appeared for ad
missicm,and In the Clouse the two partieS were.
so nearly balanced that the acceptance or re
jection of the Philadelphians involved the
control of the bolt - . Meantime, much ex
citement prevailed throughout the State, and
serious disturbances were threatened. On
the day of meeting. Harrisburg was full of
angry men, but if we can rely On the Anti-
Masonic 'papers of the time, the Democrats
were largely in the ascendent. The vote for
Speaker was taken, when the Democrats
supported Wm. Hopkins, and the Anti-Ma
sons Thos. S. Cunningham, each party hav
ing separate tellers. Both, claimed to be
elected, and, for some time, occupied seats on
the platform, side by side. Of course, under
such circumstances,/no buslueSs could be
transacted, and affairswere brought to a dead
lock. The Senate, which contained a major
ity of, Anti-Masons, recognized the Cunning
ham House. , Excitement increased through
out that State, and the Democrat? resolved
not to he defeated in their prograrnine,
threatened to maintain Mr. Hopkins's right
to the Speakership by force. The Governor,
In his-fright, called out the militia of the ad
joining, enmities, bat when they reached
Harrisburg it was found that the Democrats
were in the laajprity uuning the troopi;so
that the Anti-Masons could not depend upon
their tippslrt. He then wrote to , President
Van Buret for aid, who pluMply refused.
After 3fl :igitation of several weeks, four
Anti-Masonic — Semtuirs receded from their
original position, voted to recognize the 'Hop
kins' House, and terminated all trouble
in the Legislature. The Anti-Masons through
out the State were fierce in then- denuncia
tions of the recreant Senators, but soon sub
sided into acquiescence, and thus ended one
of the most memorable,. as it was also one of
the most disgraceful, incidents fn Pennsylva
nia history. Amid all the excitement,no blood
taS spilled, and the' affair was dubbed, in
consequence, the "Buckshot War." From
this date, the' , ' Anti-Masonic party of:Penn
sylvania rapidly declined, and In a fov years
sunk out of existence.

Previous to this, negroes bad voted in the
State. The new Constitution excluded then
from suffrage. In the Convention, our dele
gates were divided, Mr. Sill voting for negro
suffrage, and Mr. Pollock against. The Anti
-Itl wins had a Slight. tnajority in the body.
The Constitution of 1838 provided for the
election of Prothonotary, and Register and
Reentler,:instea 1 - of their wpointment by
the Governor, as before. Jas. C. Marshall
was the incumbent of the former office, and
E D. Gunnison of the latter, both being
Democrats. The same instrument also
changed the manner.of selecting Justices of
the Peace from appointment 'to election by
the people. The choice of these °Ricers was
not rustle until the spring election in 1840,
the old - incounhents retaining their pOsitions
until the first Monday of May in that. year.

A SIGNIFICANT ARTICLE.
Grant's Administration Viewed Through
Radical Speetasies.
The Leadinp Radical Paper of Illinois
'Pronounces It a Failure.
A Change of Cabinet Dematided.
The Chicago Tribune, the leading Radical
paper 'of Illinois, last week; contained the
'ollowing editorial. The "soft sawder" which
it piles upon Gen. Grant is evidently de
signed to make its criticblms of his Adminis
tration the more palatable to its Radical
readers :
When General Grant was inducted into the
Presidential office on the 4th of March lash
he was stronger in the respect and confidence
of the people than any other man who has
filled that high office during the present
generation. The only predecessor compara
ble to him In this regard was Mr. Lincoln
but Mr. Lincoln never Saw the day when he
was tree from the active, determined host It
(y of a powerful political party.
This party, when Gen. (rant was inaugu
rated, had not only been crushed by desert,
but con-uered by a latent achniration of. the
cool, silent, sure- thoted antagonist who had
overthrown them on so many and such di
verse fields of action. The Republican par
ty, so lately torn asunder tit, ohe impeach
ment was again united, and irresistible
in its loyalty - to its elected' chief. On that
day it may be safely said thai President Grant
was the strongest man in Christendom ; for
his power was rooted in the affections of a
'free people. ,
•
There has Levi a change.
Two months have passed away, and it can
ant be affirmed that Nve have, a strong,, ad
ministration.
.Its moral pnwe has been . frittered away by
small absurdities, which, fOrTunately, have no
bearing upon thL,sincerety, the truthfulness,
or the high nurphse of the President and his
advisers. We doubt if there ever was an ad
ministration with more good intentions ar
licart or less aptitude fitr ating them into
effect. And since the evil uMeh,exists is not
. . .
able to cure Itself; its remedy must be sought
and found elsewhere.
General Grant is our President.: He i,
man of high motives!and pure purposes. His
tory dues not record a more illustrious career
m arms thin his. Whether •we regard the
magnitMe of W.:achievement or his' sinele
ne•ss or purrise—whether we contemplate
the accuracy of his judgment, nr the firmness
of his re4olves, or the unselfishness of his
acts, we must admit that be stands among the
great men of ancient and modern times lie
is ; too 'greitt and too good a man to be allow
ed to fall into popular derision for the want
of friends courageous enough to acquaint
him with his errors.
General Grant's first mistake consisted in
his supposing that a governmentis the same
!him , . Os an army, and that an administration
is to be carried on as a battle is fought, with
infantry, cavalry, and artillery. To com
mand an army successfully officers are needed
to execute the orders of the General in'Chief.
To carry on a gOvernment statesmen are
needed who understand the ideas, the wahts,
and the temperament of the people, and
whose conjoint experience and wisdom may
term a body of opinion in harmony with the
nation, or at least with the party in power.
If there be a Statesman in Gen. Grant's
Cabinet, he has yet to make himself known
as sedum the public. '
To begin at the beginning, the Secretary of
State does not know the men, or the ideas, or
the country of the present day ; nor dd they
know him. He is a gentleman of a noble and
pure type. It is probable that.-he was as
much surprised when he was called to fill the
foremost place in the Canine as his country
men were. -He has come down to us from a
former generation, and, in all that constitutes
excellence of character, he is a worthy mine
mutative of the times in which he acted his
part. But he is trot the man to conduct our
diplomacy. Norls he the man to take a
leading. position in it great and progressive
government_
The Secretary of the Treasury is likewise
a man of, pure and elevated , character, who
tins risen from law station by his own verse
verance and rectitude.. But his abilities are
not above mediocrity, and if he should re
main at the head of the Treasury Depart neat
during , his natural life he could dp no more
than 'drift with the tide, and avoid the
breakers from hour to hour as best be might..
" The Secretary of War is the strongest and
most positive man in the Cabinet—a hero in
eveiy moral aspect, yet an invalid in health
and unqualified by training and experience.
to take the leading position which circ/in
s-tenet-a have forced upon him in the national
administration. Even he is known to the
country save as a staff officer of the Com
manding General during the war. Few men
know the worth, and few have felt the na
five powers of miod which belong to John
A. Rawlins. In view of his close relations
to the President and his sterling qualities,
his appointment was certainly fit to be ma le,
And we hope he may be retained. As the
,administrative officer of the War Department
he has no superior,- feeble as he is in physical
health and strength, yet no one will admit
more readily than himself .that he has not
had the sort of education that fits a man to
lead a Cabinet council. And we fear that
even. his advice hes been thus far of little
avail.
• The Secretary of ?belies - 3- is, by common
consent, unfitted either forldministration or
council—a worthy and well-tneaninif myr
oloott. whose unfamiliarity with pnlitteal
IA exceeded only by his ignoran(4• ot
naval atrairs.
The Secretary of the Interior, the' Post
master Getterid and the Attorney General are
probtOly competent to discharge the clerical
duties of their offices; but prior to their ele
vation they were not in any way distin
guished as statesmen, or held 'by their ac
quaintances as better qualified' to assume the
reigns Dr government, than the averce of
their neighbors i 0 the same place of sOciety.
General Grant, whose distinviighing eseel
lene,e liming the war consisted in his ability
to select the right men for the right pikes,
has apparently not perceived that statesmen
are required to fill the places of statesmen.
The second mistake •of the President (and
the one which bas perhaps weakened him
most in.the public estimation,) is his eager
ness to appoint personal friends and relative&
to office. 'ln this behalf he has furnished a
target to the enemy where all their shots take
effect, not on hint alone, but upon the party'
which elected him.
. . .
In appointing Mr. Washburne,Secretary of
State, as a mere matter of compliment, he .
trifled with the dignity of the highest office
in his gift. S. compliment of this nature'
ought not to have been either conferred or
accepted. The office was too high to have
been made an instrument of politeness.. More
than bait the votes against the repeal of the
Office-Tenure f law were made by this indis
creet act. General Grant was Tight in de
' mending the, repeal of that law. He stood
upon solid ground when be refused to move
tn.! I the oimoxiouit statut .t should be repealed,
,
,and it he had not erred in the exercise of the
I appointing power in the precise way that he
di clerr,ke tiould have overcome all opposition
within a week utter his inauguration. But by •
first despoiling the principal office in his gift,
and. then making baste to confer other im
portant and valuable offices upon near rela
tions and personal cronies, he subjected him
self to the charge of nepotism. The Senate
was not slow to perceive that in, a contest
growing out of the Tenure-of-ofile'e law they
had all the advantage, because the people
would be quick to observe that the , appoint
ing poo er Waa not I,udicionsly exercised, and
wou b I not so readily comprehend - the vicious
ness-of the principle underlying the obnnx
lats statute. , Hence the , law- was not
.
re
pealed.
Whyi - it may be asked,' do we say these
things? ,The answer is two fold.,
In the first place they are, already kno - Wn'
—everybody is talking about them, in the
streets, on horse cans, in the railroad
,trains,
in the club rooms, around encore tables, and
everywhere except it the Executive' , man
sion. The facts cannot be' inure public than
they are.
. In the second place, it is necessary, as we
conceive, that there should be a change.
There taut be a Cabinet with statesmanship
in it, and! there must be an end to nepotism
in the government, because the respect and
confidence of the public cannot be retained
where the former is wanting and the latter
aboundsi Without the respect and confi
dence o 1 the public no administration can
have vitality.. , • '
"This," as Mr. Lincoln said to the Southern
Commissioners, "is our common country."
General Grant is our Chief Magistrate. His
serviees have been too gtes,, his principles
ate too high, his respongibilities are too vast,
to be dwarfed and jeopardized rot the Want
of•a little plain, unvarnished truth. If any
apologyis required from us, we have noth
hr: better to offer than this: that we aresin
cerely attached In our President, and to the
principles upon, which he was elected r atdl
we cannot permit the usefulness of the one
or the success of the other to be put in per 1
by a series of petty mistakes, so easily rt:-
paired, if we have any power to avert the
catastrophe.

WAsnmotrox, May I.—The interview of
Gen. Robert E. Lee, of Virginia, with the

In giving - this work to the public, the pub
fishers are rendering a praiseworthy service
in the interests of Biblical literature. Until
recently, students of the Bible haite labored
under many disadvantages. The inform:-
lion they, sought' was ‘ unattainable out of
lava) libraries, and scattered through a thou
sand volumes of conimentaries, dry treatises,
technical researches, travels and histories.
This Dictionary is a condensation at infor
mation, from all these sources, and is a flood
of light poured upon the Scriptures. It is
the result of the combined thought and labor
of more than sixty of the most eminent
scholars of this eoun trit..and,EuroPe. Scarce
ly a question can arise, even remotely con
nected with the Scriptures, which is not
answered-with sufficient fullness in this book.
There are no DIMWS of persons, animals,
plants, or things—nothing pertaining to than
or nature—no allusions to history, local tra
ditions, peculiar customs, superstitions. do ss,
manners, habits—that are not here clearly
and often minutely explained. It is the
biography, geography, natural history and
antiquarian investigation of -the Bible all in
one. To ordinary readers of the Bible, who
have not access to any large theological
library, such a book ZIA this is of incalculable
value. We' only spealt the verdict of all
competent judges when we_say that it stands
entirely alone in its field. It is a library in
itself, and one might vk iselw forego many of
the so-balled necessaries of lire lit order to
